15 Things Every Archbishop Molloy Alumn Will Understand

Graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens is simultaneously the sweetest and hardest goodbye to its' many alumnae. Without even realizing it, we were carried into the threshold of adulthood through hall ways inspired by St. Anne's Academy and Saint Marcellin Champagnat. A huge portion of AMHS touched each of our lives, but the silly little every day aspects can mean so much more, maybe these 15 ring a bell.

1. No Matter What Anyone Says, You Are A Stanner.

Calling all St. Anners! It's no secret that during Molloy days we thought our name was lame, but we all know we stood by it, and our Stanner Manner, proudly.

2. Doc's Cave.

Dougherty's room was the homeroom hub, cramped but cozy.

3. Trivia Fridays

We all remember what a trip to room 123 usually meant, detention. ( And it's Friday, ugh.) Have no fear though, answer one trivia question right and earn your ticket to freedom. (Thanks Shannon!)

4. "Sweating is Sexy!" - R.R.

Who else but the Rodge Man?

5. The Glass Booth. Enough Said.

The allotted destination to make phone calls? Yes; but more commonly known as the kick it spot for seniors during free periods.

6. You'll Remember Your ID Number Like The Back Of Your Hand.

12-314, how about you?

7. The Best Thing About Junior Year Was Getting A Top Locker.

With college preparation beginning to veer its head, SATs, ACTs, and taking physics and trigonometry in the same year; it felt really good to no longer have to squat to get your books.

8. "Even or Odd?"

It was a great feeling when one of your classmates asked where you were going, you responded "even side" ( or "odd side") & they knew exactly what you were talking about.

9. Senior Polos

Hands down the best perk of being a senior.


10. Spot a TA?

Unroll your skirt, throw out your gum, un-break your locker, and put on your lanyard. FAST.

11. Locker Checks Were Every Upperclassmen's Worse Nightmare.

The pink slip of paper that fell out of your broken locker meant business.

12. The Freshman Backpack Epidemic Was Real.

At one point or another during our first year at Molloy, each of us rocked the freshman backpack. And each year after, we swear they got bigger and bigger with every new class.

13. Spirit Week Was The Biggest Deal.

14. Stay Stanner, Stanner High.

Thank you Liam Moyles for your lovely trademark sign off during morning announcements.

15. Dear Esopus: At first I was a part of you, then you became a part of me.

Whether your first experience was at freshman camp, a retreat, the special camps, or your senior encounter; this beautiful place is special to many and a home to, too many more.

Non Scholae Sed Vitae. Not For School, But For Life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
